Noah's steps suddenly halted as he reread the message multiple times to check the time.
"She is in the city...!?"
He wasn't expecting Emma to visit this city, as he had never heard her mention any plans to come here.
"Are you in the capital, Emma? Where are you right now?" From: Noah
After sending the message, Noah entered his bedroom, placed his cell phone on the table, and took off his long coat. He glanced at his phone a few times, but there was no reply from Emma.
'Maybe she's already asleep?'
He decided to clean up and will call her tomorrow morning.
...
By the time Noah finished cleaning up and was ready to rest, his cell phone rang again—this time an incoming call from Emma.
"Hi Emma," Noah greeted as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Noah, I hope I'm not disturbing your rest."
"Not at all... I just got home. Are you in town?"
"Yes, I'm in Fort City. I just finished a conference today and finally have some time to reach out to you."
